Before you can add products/services there are a number of things you will need to do first (If you've already done these then skip ahead to Understanding the shop hierarchy).

There's a guide to doing that here.

We have two payment gateways that buyers can use to purchase your products:

Setting-up the Stripe Connect payment gateway means you have to complete Stripe's independent business verification process. We have to do this to meet anti-money laundering rules and it's a great way to give buyers confidence that it's really you. We give you a green tick that displays on your shop along with a credit card (CC) badge when you've set this up so that Buyers can see you've done this.

Setting up Bank Transfer is super easy - you just have to add your bank account details under you seller profile. Once you've done that we'll add a purchase order (PO) badge to your shop.

If you are selling physical products you need to set-up your shipping. There are two ways to do this:

There is a toggle on the Manage Shop / General tab where you select the option you want. Toggle on to use manual shipping rates, toggle off to use a shipping app which you connect via Plugins/Shipping service.

We've got a great guide on how to set-up manual shipping here.

If you do not want to display pricing for your products and services then you need to toggle on the Enable RFQ module setting under Manage Shop/General.

There's a hierarchy of Product Options > Catalog > Inventory that you need to follow when adding products or services to your shop.

Product options are like t-shirt sizes (with options values of Small, Medium and Large) and t-shirt colours (Red, Black, Blue).

For physical products these might be pump capacities (20L/h, 50L/h, 100L/h). For services these might be source water types (Groundwater, Surface Water).

Here's a quick interactive guide on how to set-up Product/Service options:

When you add a product or service it gets added to your product catalog. Once you've added something you can find it and edit it via the My Products button on the Seller Dashboard.

In order for a product or service to display in your shop you have to add it to your shop inventory. Once you've added inventory you can find it and edit it via the Shop Inventory button on the Seller Dashboard.

Here's an interactive guide to adding a Service to your catalog and shop inventory.

Here's an interactive guide to adding a Physical Product to your catalog and shop inventory.

This is much the same as adding a service since there is no delivery. There is an added component of adding your digital files or digital links. We've got an article on it here.

If you've got loads of products and/or services to add then we've got three ways to do this:
